case of non payment of fee, there is no contract , what can be done?
10-May-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
I work for an institute which organized a college event and invited experts for workshops. I invited one expert and was the contact person for him and represented my university without holding any official post. When the event concluded my institute paid him half of his fees because his work was not complete. The expert had sent us an invoice only and demands the fees as per the invoice, though we never had an agreement or contract. Now, he has sent us a notice stating that we have to pay him up or else he'll take legal action. He has also put my name in the notice including my director and institute. As, I am looking for a job abroad, I am unsure if this is going to hinder my career progression in any way? Will this be a civil case or a criminal case? Will I be an accused or will it be only against the institute? Can I get my work visa if such a case is pending against me? Will it make a difference if the case is civil or criminal? Is it a strong case against me and my institute?
In absence of any agreement, it makes the case of opposite party quite weak. Also, The said case will be instituted in the name of the institute, also, the said case will be civil in nature.
